The ESTA Technical Standards Program
The ESTA Technical Standards Program (TSP) was created to serve the ESTA membership and the
entertainment industry in technical standards related matters. The goal of the Program is to take a leading role
regarding technology within the entertainment industry by creating recommended practices and standards,
monitoring standards issues around the world on behalf of our members, and improving communications and
safety within the industry. ESTA works closely with the technical standards efforts of other organizations within
our industry, including USITT and VPLT, as well as representing the interests of ESTA members to ANSI, UL,
and the NFPA. The Technical Standards Program is accredited by the American National Standards Institute.
The Technical Standards Council (TSC) was established to oversee and coordinate the Technical Standards
Program. Made up of individuals experienced in standards-making work from throughout our industry, the
Council approves all projects undertaken and assigns them to the appropriate working group. The Technical
Standards Council employs staff to coordinate the work of the Council and its working groups as well as maintain
a “Standards Watch” on behalf of members. Working groups include: Camera Cranes, Control Protocols,
Electrical Power, Floors, Fog and Smoke, Followspot Position, Photometrics, Rigging, and Stage Lifts.
ESTA encourages active participation in the Technical Standards Program. There are several ways to become
involved. If you would like to become a member of an existing working group, as have over four hundred people,
you must complete an application which is available from the ESTA office. Your application is subject to approval
by the working group and you will be required to actively participate in the work of the group. There is an annual
fee for all participants, both Observers and Voters. Voters are required to respond to letter ballots and attending
meetings. Membership in ESTA is not a requirement for TSP participation. You can also become involved by
requesting that the TSC develop a standard or a recommended practice in an area of concern to you.
The Control Protocols Working Group, which authored this standard, consists of a cross section of entertainment
industry professionals representing a diversity of interests. ESTA is committed to developing consensus-based
standards and recommended practices in an open setting.

Foreword
(This foreword contains no mandatory requirements.)
This standard describes the types of portable cable used to interconnect products which comply with ANSI
E1.11, Entertainment Technology – USITT DMX512-A: Asynchronous Serial Digital Data Transmission Standard
for Controlling Lighting Equipment and Accessories.
In 2003, The Control Protocols Working Group of ESTA’s Technical Standards Program authorized the formation
of a DMX512 Cabling Task Group. Writing an American National Standard for the use of portable DMX512-A
cables was one of the projects assigned to this Task Group. This document is the result. It was developed under
the Policies and Procedures of the ESTA Technical Standards Program, and reaffirmed under the Policies and
Procedures of the PLASA Technical Standards Program
Initial Task Group (Company affiliations are those during the initial project)

1 General
1.1 Scope
This Standard describes the types of portable cable for the transmission of digital data among products which
comply with ANSI E1.11, Entertainment Technology—USITT DMX512-A. It covers recommended cable types,
connectors and their internal wiring.
This Standard is intended as a guide for:
1. Equipment manufacturers and system specifiers who wish to integrate systems of lighting equipment
and accessories, including dimmers, with controllers made by different manufacturers.
2. System specifiers and consultants who wish to gain detailed information about recommended cable
types and allowed connectors.
This standard is intended to supplement ANSI E1.11, Entertainment Technology—USITT DMX512-A -

Asynchronous Serial Digital Data Transmission Standard for Controlling Lighting Equipment and Accessories.
References to ANSI E1.11, and DMX512-A within this standard all refer to this document.
This standard is not intended to replace existing portable digital data cabling standards or recommended
practices other than those described in USITT DMX512 and DMX512/1990.
Unless otherwise noted, references to DMX512 in this document refer to DMX512-A.
1.2 Overview and Architecture

The means of transport of DMX512-A digital data from one compliant device to another is normally a two-pair
cable, with each pair serving as a data link. Single pair cables are allowed when properly marked to differentiate
them from two-pair cables. Portable cable shall be shielded to protect the data links from interference (RFI and
EMI). The physical connection of portable cables at any device is via a 5-pin XLR connector.
The first pair of wires in any DMX512 portable data cable is used as the primary data link. The second pair is
used for a variety of purposes, all of which fall within the scope of DMX512-A.
1.3 Compliance
Compliance with this standard is strictly voluntary and the responsibility of the manufacturer. Disclosures and
identification or other claims of compliance do not constitute certification or approval by ESTA. See clause 7 for
Disclosure requirements.

4 Electrical Characteristics
4.1 Background
The data transmission rate (250 kbits/s) used by DMX512 requires the selection of a portable DMX512 cable
that does not significantly distort the signal or give rise to spurious signal reflections. Cables intended for use
with audio systems (such as microphone cables), while having the convenience of flexibility, availability and
relative low cost, may not be suitable for use with DMX512 because of their high capacitance and incorrect
characteristic impedance; at DMX512 data rates this will give rise to bit time distortion and signal
reflections/overshoot.
4.2 Maximum and minimum cable lengths

Maximum and minimum run lengths are specifically omitted from this standard. A number of factors, including
signal quality, device operating characteristics including capacitive values, and installation environment can
affect these lengths, and is beyond the scope of this standard.
4.3 Construction
Portable DMX512 cables shall use twisted pair conductors. Conductors shall be of stranded construction. The
raw cable used for a DMX512 cable assembly shall be declared by its manufacturer as suitable for use with EIA-
422/EIA-485/EIA-485-A systems. Shielding shall be on individual pairs or overall shielding of pairs, or both. The
portable cable itself shall be flexible and rugged enough for the repeated coiling and uncoiling to which it will be
subjected.
4.3.1 Cables implementing only the Primary Data Link shall consist of at least one twisted pair and be marked
according to Clause 7.1.
© 2016 ESTA 3 CP/2003-1028r5.2

4.3.2 Cables implementing both Data Links shall consist of at least two twisted pairs and be marked according to
Clause 7.1.
4.3.3 Cables implementing only the Secondary Data Link shall not be allowed.
4.4 Impedance
Portable DMX512 cables shall have a characteristic impedance in the range 100 to 120 ohms. Due to the
characteristic impedance of 120 ohms in EIA-485 systems, 120 ohms is preferred.
4.5 Capacitance
Capacitance between conductors within a shield shall not exceed 19.8 pF/ft (65 pF/m). Capacitance between
any conductor and the shield shall not exceed 35 pF/ft (115 pF/m).
4.6 Dielectric Withstanding Protection

Dielectric rating for portable DMX512 cables shall conform to prevailing electrical codes. Requirements for
specific voltage ratings, insulation types, jacket materials and other characteristics vary with location and
application, and are beyond the scope of this Standard.
5 Connection Methods
5.1 Required Connector
Portable cables shall use 5-pin XLR connectors. The physical pin designations of the 5-pin XLR shall be in
accordance with Table 1.
Any use of alternate connectors shall comply with ANSI E1.11.
6 Electrical Specifications and Physical Layer

6.1 General
This standard addresses portable cables for use in DMX512 systems that conform to EIA-485-A and additional
physical layer requirements. Where a conflict exists, DMX512-A shall govern. The physical layer of a DMX512
data link is constrained by earth grounding practices, termination methods, signal levels, EMI, and accidental
damage by connection to other devices.
6.2 DMX512 Portable Cables
6.2.1 General
A DMX512 Portable Cable is a digital data transmission cable designed for the provisional interconnection of two
DMX512 devices. Portable cables shall each have two prescribed connectors, a male 5-pin XLR at the end
nearest the transmitting device and a female 5-pin XLR at the end nearest the receiving device. Pins shall be
designated 1 through 5. There shall be no connection to the shell.
6.2.2 Compatibility with Legacy Equipment/Adaptors
Some legacy equipment placed voltages on the second pair of data conductors that may damage other
connected DMX512 devices. Portable adaptors intended to break the second pair for the purpose of protecting
DMX512 devices are beyond the scope of this standard.
Adaptors such as turnarounds, gender changers, taps, etc. are beyond the scope of this standard.
© 2016 ESTA 4 CP/2003-1028r5.2

Users are cautioned that E1.27-1 cables may be connected to adaptors that change the functionality of the
E1.27-1 cable.
6.3 Data link common and grounding topologies

In all cases Pin 1 of DMX512 portable cable connectors shall act as Data Link Common. The wire connected to
Pin 1 shall be no smaller than the wire used for the twisted pairs in the cable.
6.4 Data Link signal designations summary
